College Prowler Take
Considering the intellectual quotient of Wash U’s undergrads, the kids here are surprisingly photogenic. This is partially because the highly athletic student population has a knack for staying in shape and keeping their bodies healthy. Guys and girls with flat abs and muscled legs can regularly be seen jogging near campus, lifting weights in the AC, and playing fast-paced ultimate Frisbee or soccer in the Swamp or Mudd field. Most people are slim, fit, and know how to dress to show it off (or undress, as the case may be). There are plenty of attractive girls and guys to be found, it’s just a matter of getting out and meeting them. Sexual relations at Wash U begin with the usual college immaturity and insecurity—awkward hookups, short-lived boyfriends and girlfriends. But overall, the student population is active and fun, and enjoys the company of the opposite sex (or the same sex, according to preference). Students Speak Out

A lot of people think that the student body at WashU is not very attractive; however, I think there are a lot of genuinely beautiful people here. Also, this school tends to attract extremely smart people, and let's face it: Nerds are sexy.

It's difficult to choose a Wash U "type" because there are all kinds of people here. Everyone is really smart, and it's said that the girls are not that attractive and the guys are even less attractive (I don't think that's true). Wash U students are probably a little bit more intellectual than your average citizen, but it's a very normal social scene. Yes, there are lots of geeks, but most people are very social.

I think we have a fairly attractive campus, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course. I’ve seen many a fine lad around the Quad, though. Also, it seems the trend is that the younger classes just get hotter and hotter. Last year’s freshman class—dang! |

We have our share of partiers, and people that stay home on the weekends and study, and then those that go in between. It just depends. There are lots of really cool people, though, from all over the country. It’s funny how Wash U just becomes a melting pot in the Midwest. |

I’ve met a number of great guys, but mostly just as friends. I am dating a wonderful guy at the moment, so there are a few good-looking guys here. The girls here aren’t too catty or anything. I have a number of girlfriends whom I can totally relate to and spend lunch breaks or time after class just sitting and talking to. |
FactsBirth Control Available?
Yes - Female students who have had an exam with their home doctor or have an exam with Health Services can have their birth control prescriptions filled at health services for $10. Health Services offers all forms of birth control, including pills, patches, and the shot. They also provide free condoms.
Social Scene
Even though only 25% of the students are in fraternities/sororities, they throw the majority of on-campus parties. For underclassmen, fraternity parties are popular because they are open and nearby. However, there are also many non-Greek subcultures that throw parties in dorms and apartments, like the the stoners, the KWUR (Wash U radio) crowd, the jocks, and the artsy crowd. The social scene for upperclassmen tends to take place more off-campus.
Hookups or Relationships?
Hookups are quite common during freshman and sophomore years, although by junior and senior year, people tend to get more serious and look for long-term relationships. Wash U kids, like any other group of college students, have their needs, though, so it's not uncommon for random hookups to occur all the way through senior year.
Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls
The best place to meet guys and girls at Wash U is through extracurricular activities (clubs, sports, artistic or religious organizations). The follow-up, of course, takes place everywhere else—at frat parties, in Ursa's or the Hilltop Café, in Bowles Plaza, etc. First getting to know girls/guys in a more intimate setting, where you share an interest, later allows for casual encounters in the popular places of campus life: the Quad, parties, the library, the eateries, and so forth.
Dress Code
Kids don’t get too creative with their appearance, and they stick with the clean-cut, classy look. Polos, button-downs, or T-shirts with khakis or jeans are standard for guys; loose pants or skirts and simple tops or T-shirts for girls. In the winter, everyone bundles up in pea coats or winter jackets, jeans, and boots.
